Question

Have you used the pub more to eat than drink since the smoking ban?

Answer 1

Yes and it's great to be able to eat without coming out of the pub smelling like an ash tray

Answer 2

Ive used the pub less full stop.

Answer 3

I don't drink that much anyway so its about the same for booze - but I do eat more often in pubs than I used to (when I'm traveling in the UK or Ireland that is).  In the states I generally eat more in taverns than drink - most Ohio taverns couldn't make a decent drink if their lives depended on it (mainly because they hire minimum wage gals as bartenders).

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Yes!! I have!

Answer 6

I dont use it any more or any less than I used to. I appreciate being able to enjoy a meal without the stench of smoke though!

I can't believe it's two years since the smoking ban in Scotland, time does fly!

Answer 7

Yes! It's lovely to come home not stinking like an ashtray.

Answer 8

We have had to get used to it since last March 2006 or something, so you kind of just get back to normal after a while.. (although i don't smoke, i know a lot of people who do)

Answer 9

not really, it does mean that i sit on my own while my parents go outside for a cig

Answer 10

Yes, it's lovely.  I regularly go to a pub quiz and also eat in pubs now.  I suffered for years because of the smoke other people inflicted on me.

Answer 11

no, not really, but it has made it nicer now that you dont get a mouth full of smoke and food. Now i just get food :D its great

Answer 12

I don't go. Pubs are supposed to be smokey, they are not restaurants. Drinkers do tend to be smokers too and they are suffering.
